Emley AFC are delighted to announce that EFL side Rotherham United will visit the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground on Tuesday 14 July (7pm kick-off) for standout date in our pre-season calendar.
While this will be the first time Rotherham United have played at the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground, it is not the first meeting between the two clubs. Emley AFC and the Millers have crossed paths previously in the FA Cup.
The game also holds special significance for current Emley manager Richard Tracey. It was against Emley that Tracey made his first-ever professional appearance for Rotherham United, Oakwell in an FA Cup tie between the two clubs. Nearly three decades later, he will lead the Pewits against his former club in what promises to be a memorable occasion.
With Rotherham United's excellent travelling support and strong local interest expected, supporters are encouraged to secure their place as early as possible.
Our match day sponsor is Shadwick Utility Consultants - we thank Andy and the team for their generous support.
